Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp.

TV writer Tanya Saracho is developing a series for 20th Century Fox Television with "Empire" executive producer Danny Strong.

The untitled Latino family drama will be set in Chicago, where the now LA-based Saracho lived and worked as a playwright for more than a decade. If all goes according to plan, she would like to shoot it here.

The show will center on the "members of a powerful Latino family who fight for control of their massive food empire as they navigate what it means to be first generation Americans in a city like Chicago."
